Discover the heart and soul of Dunedin on this small-group tour designed to showcase the city’s most iconic sights. From striking architecture to sweeping coastal views, this tour blends rich history with vibrant local culture for a truly memorable day ashore. Your journey begins with a warm welcome at Port Chalmers before heading into the city to explore highlights such as the stunning Dunedin Railway Station, picturesque Otago University, and the scenic St Clair Promenade. Take in panoramic views from Signal Hill Lookout and Unity Park, and snap a photo on Baldwin Street - the steepest street in the world. You’ll enjoy some free time in The Octagon, Dunedin’s lively city centre, where you can explore, grab a bite, or simply soak up the local vibe.
